Re: Pacers/Warriors postgame thread.

I'll keep on saying this til we re-sign DJ in the offseason , but I really hope that the Pacers make a serious run at Jarrett Jack to be the backup PG. That or just make Lance the backup PG. Seriously, Lance is not supposed to be a SG that is waiting for the ball as a Spot up shooter....he's WAY better at creating for the 2nd unit than any one else is.

I can only thank this once, but I'd do it 100 times if possible. Lance is seriously being underutilized.

Re: Pacers/Warriors postgame thread.

Lance immediately getting pulled after his 8th point in the 1st qtr. (a nice post move) then getting 1 shot the rest of the game is the kinda crap I'm talking about. Give these young guys more minutes and let em play when they get it going.

Re: Pacers/Warriors postgame thread.

For some reason.....Roy sat a lot longer than I thought he should have especially in the 4th QTR. I don't think that he was in foul trouble. I really wonder if Vogel just wasn't confident in him or preferred to play Mahinmi.

As for why Hansbrough played a lot more than he should have....DW can only play so many minutes.....that and Mahinmi was in foul trouble.

lance is getting minutes. Vogel just isn't letting the Lance play his game. He's bottling him up and that doesn't work. He needs to create for himself and others.

Re: Pacers/Warriors postgame thread.

As usual, many of you are over reacting to a loss. GS is a good team and we were playing a back to back on the road. We lost....big deal. Don't get too high after a win, don't get too low after a loss.

Re: Pacers/Warriors postgame thread.

The Pacers can also use some of those guards Golden state has, they can shoot, dribble and pass the ball well, the pacers don't even have one.

They have shooters who are scorers. Their backcourt scored 60 pts or 58% of their 103 points. Those 60 points came on 23 of 38 shooting. That doesn't even include Jenkins 1-1 shooting.

They shot at will with little worry from Pacer defenders. There was a reason Jerry West liked Klay Thompson in the draft. He recognizes a good BB player when he sees one. Drafted at #11 he is a better player than almost every player drafted before him.

he's also our best guy at creating his own shot and attacking the basket.

Pacers need the Jack Attack next year.

If the answer to what the best role for Lance to play on the Team is being the backup PG ( or specifically the guy controlling the ball when he's on the floor ) as opposed to being a backup SG ( as in the guy waiting for the ball to shoot the ball ), then that will tell you whether we should pursue Jarrett Jack or not next year as the backup PG.

There is no need to pursue Jarrett if there is an intention for Lance to play the role of the Backup PG.

IMHO....I think that Lance could develop into a much better ball-handler and shot-creator....hence requiring him to have the ball in his hands when he's on the floor....and therefore fulfill the backup PG role....thus negating the need for Jarrett. This also means that I don't think that Lance is better suited to be a backup SG.

However, I would have no problem passing on Lance and signing Jarrett for $4 mil a year due to his experience, defense, shooting and ability to execute.

Re: Pacers/Warriors postgame thread.

The Pacers will not have much room under the SALARY cap even if they don't give West a new contract. All they will gain is wiggle room under the luxury tax threshold.

Until Walsh is gone, I don't want us to have any cap space. Just keep West and wait until someone else is in charge for any free agent moves. After this summer I have no faith at all in Walsh or Pritchard.

DREAMER!!

He's in for a big payday this off season.

I wouldn't mind if Lance was the b/u PG to Hill. It might come to fruition when Granger comes back, and Lance is moved back to the bench. I'm beginning to feel there might be some validity about Vogel having a short leash on Lance. Can Vogel have enough confidence in letting Lance be the b/u PG?
